When I was a teenager my mother got me a bird, a cockatiel, for getting an A in biology. This painting is my memory of him. I named him Pele. He gave me a lot of joy.
Wow, just found an old pic of my bird (Feb 20, 2015) looking through an old hard-drive. Sweet! 
Pele is the one on the left. The all grey-one was his girlfriend. 🙂

This is a recurrent theme in your work, something breaking free.
I love the face of the bird as it has broken through its barrier and has at least a head above water, seeing another reality.
